Separated by 6 years in an, up til now, high quality 30 year career, these albums best reflect the peak powers of the band. Experimental yet highly listenable, original and highly influential, they are outstanding works that show just what is possible if you treat music as art form that is undiscovered in it's potential. I will leave it there before I start talking about sonic cathedrals...
